Honestly going for the ‘largest’ instance is kind of dumb naive. Smaller, faster instances provide a much better experience. Bigger is not better in the fediverse.
The whole point is to decentralise power away from a single instance, CEO or monopoly. If you’re on a small instance you can still see all the content you want from all the other instances and you might even get a meaningful say in how your experience develops.
We don’t want to build another Reddit we want to build an alternative that is better structured.

Is it really that dumb though? Small instances might provide a better experience until they close down.
